Not surprisingly, the characters faced with such horrific hors d'oeuvres will find the best way to stop them for good, is to [[EatingTheEnemy put the malicious munchies in their place]]. You can always count on the cast's BigEater or ExtremeOmnivore to take care of this.

Not to be confused with food from [[RussianReversal Soviet Russia]]. Subtrope of AttackOfTheKillerWhatever. Compare EdibleAmmunition and EdibleBludgeon (where otherwise normal weapons are made out of food products). Often an enemy found in LevelAte. FedToPigs is a related trope; many people eat pork, but in this case pigs eat us.

* Time travelers have warned Literature/ThursdayNext about a possible apocalypse where the entire world is covered in a strange, unidentified substance.

* ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania''. Lord Krylar serves up drinks for the van Dyne family, each of which have a small tentacled creature with PuppyDogEyes which he swallows live.

The last thing we see of Krylar, he's caught in its tentacles and being pulled towards it.

* This is known to occasionally happen to hunters who are after dangerous prey. [[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/crocodiles-eat-hunter-scott-van-zyl-south-african-zimbabwe-limpopo-river-a7690431.html One example]].
* Everytime an animal is able to eat the meat of a predator that would normally hunt said animal.
** The most common example may be a scavenger finding the dead body of a bigger predator.
** Another example includes a human and a predatory animal, since with weapons, a human can easily kill for example a lion, but without, the lion will most likely kill the human.

* Gummy WebOriginal/{{Neopets}} are described as the creations of a mad scientist who envisioned them as companions that you could eat as snacks. The first example was perfectly harmless ... until the scientist decided to use it for its second purpose. Food Eats You, indeed.

* The page image comes from ''WebAnimation/ElCid'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TswBbZzNug short]], "Hotdog Eats a Franchise/{{Batman}}", which makes ''marginally'' more sense if you're aware that it's a followup to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIGgGV7uwU4 an earlier short]], "Batman Eats a Hotdog".

Not to be confused with food from [[RussianReversal Soviet Russia]]. Subtrope of AttackOfTheKillerWhatever. Compare EdibleAmmunition and EdibleBludgeon (where otherwise normal weapons are made out of food products). Often an enemy found in LevelAte. FedToPigs is a mundane subtrope; many people eat pig, but in this case pigs eat us.

* In one episode of the 1993 ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'' revival ''Super Secret Secret Squirrel'', the antagonist is a living gingerbread man named Greg with a grudge against children since his leg was bitten off by a hungry child. To this end he created a gigantic golem made out of candy that would eat children and tried feeding Secret and Morocco to it as its first meals. Unfortunately for Greg, RealityEnsues since the golem is still ultimately made out of candy -- Secret and Morocco defeat it simply by ''eating'' it.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The Rykornians are an odd play on this, as technically they're giant corn aliens that try to attack the earth, it's just that the bodies that do the talking have a pyramid head and a rhombus body, while the more corn looking counterparts are more like attack tentacles.
